Following the Rosa Parks Circle performances, the marching band, dancers and Nerd Walk participants will march through downtown and across the Blue Pedestrian Bridge to GVSU's Eberhard Center where the band will perform again.

Grand Valley State University President Thomas J. Haas and Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell will both attend the event. GVSU's Louie the Laker will also be there.

WGVU/PBS Nerd Walk participants are encouraged to embrace their own uniqueness with horn-rimmed glasses, magic wands, lightsabers, mystical hammers and capes while marching the streets of Grand Rapids.
